This is a new release of the original 1937 edition.

THE WORLD TO COME is a timely book concerning the precipice that the American people are teetering upon. For too long, we have allowed politicians, bureaucrats, clergy, educators, and other "smart" people to direct us. And we have "baahh'd" like good Sheep. We are about to pay for it! Since 1963 we have been told that there are only Political Solutions. What ails us today and for the foreseeable future are Spiritual Problems with Spiritual Solutions. America is unique because if we get ourselves in order and back upon a firm foundation (beliefs and ideas which have always made great civilizations and free peoples) - we can then use our political tools to clean house. This booklet discusses two PATHS before us for the several subsequent election cycles. PATH 1 is peaceful and non-violent. PATH 2 leads us to a Strongman whom we will elect because of the chaos we are experiencing; he will promise us SAFETY and SECURITY. The outcome of PATH 2 will not be good. The odds are you have not heard about PATH 2. Why? Because BOTH Parties in the U.S. are devoted to PATH 2. The Democrats and the Republicans have a dark side and watch each other's backs. They are the Wolves, and you are the Sheep, and in their Democracy, they are deciding who is for dinner. THE WORLD TO COME: Why What You Think Today Matters Tomorrow. It is for today and tomorrow. This booklet is not for everyone: most people will want to sleep, and by default, they'll choose PATH 2.

This book provides a revolutionary look at drinking and a radical new road to recovery.We live in a world preoccupied with drinking. We drink at baby showers and business gatherings, breakfast and book club, graduations, and funerals. Yet no one ever disputes alcohol's ubiquity-in fact, the only thing ever questioned is why someone doesn't drink. It is a qualification for belonging and if you don't consume, you are considered an aberration. As a culture, we are preoccupied with health and wellbeing, but we support alcohol as some sort of miraculous elixir, despite it being everything but.David Miller decided to seek counseling for women, He began on a trip that exposed the pernicious effect alcohol plays in our culture and the lives of women in particular. What's more, He could not ignore the ways that alcohol businesses were targeting women, just as the cigarette industry had successfully done years before. Fueled by his help feminism, he also realized that the predominant systems of recovery are archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women and other historically oppressed people-who don't need to lose their egos and surrender to a male concept of God, as the tenets of Alcoholics Anonymous state, but who need to cultivate a deeper understanding of their own identities and take control of their lives. When Miller discovered an alternative path out of addiction, he felt a need to develop a sober community with tools for anybody questioning their connection with drinking, so that others can find their way as well. His consequent feminine-centric recovery method focuses on getting to the fundamental issues that drive individuals to overindulge and offers the skills required to escape the cycle of addiction, showing us what is possible when we eliminate alcohol and dismantle our belief system surrounding it.Written in an approachable style that is honest and amusing, Ways of Quitting Like a Woman is at once a pioneering look at drinking culture and a road map to cut off alcohol to live our best lives without the crutch of drunkenness. You will never look at drinking the same way again.Furthermore, this book aims to explain the falsehoods being told about why people drink, is alcohol having identical sensation with cigarette smoking, is alcohol influencing our life and most particularly women and as well profer remedy on stopping alcohol and enjoyable things to do instead of drinking alcohol

A captivating and wonderfully illustrated chronicle of one of the most influential and legendary names in gunsmithing history. John M. Browning was born in Ogden, Utah, in 1855, into a world of gunsmithing. His father was a gunsmith who was already well known for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy, John spent hours in his father's shop and allegedly knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. It's hardly surprising that at age twenty-three, he was filing his first patent for the "J. M. Browning Single-Shot Rifle." Browning inherited his father's gun making shop, and with funds of less than a thousand dollars, developed it into a highly successful business that developed several iconic firearms including the Colt Peacemaker. Browning also cooperated with Winchester to develop a whole range of small arms including semi-automatic pistols, single-shot rifles, repeater rifles, and machine guns. His enthusiasm and creativity have led many to believe he is the greatest firearm designer of all time. This fascinating book describes the Browning history, and in addition to covering the full range of inventions and designs, also shows various gun-making artifacts, copies of designers' drawings, and interesting photographs of the weapons in the hands of users. The History of Browning Firearms makes a perfect addition to the libraries of Wild West buffs and firearms enthusiasts.

David Miller has been writing some of the most beautiful, adventurous and intelligent poetry he has ever written in the last few years, which makes the present (poetry is always in the present) a blessed time for readers like myself. Each new work astonishes and delights.

The US boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics left German lawyer Thomas Bach unable to defend his fencing title. Instead, he devoted the next 20 years to climbing the sports administrative ladder. His mission was to protect athletes' independent rights, and his ambition to become IOC president. Bach was elected IOC president in 2013, and immediately set about transforming the organisation's century-old constitution. His 40-point agenda launched a radical host city election procedure, while enforcing the International Federations' internal disciplines and introducing new Olympic sports such as skateboarding. New age Olympics had arrived - but it wasn't all smooth sailing. With Russia's institutional cheating marring three consecutive Games, the near financial collapse of Rio '16 and the threatened cancellation of Tokyo 2020, Bach sustained IOC equilibrium through repeated crises. Igniting the Games reveals how Bach transformed the Olympics and saved a ponderous ancient institution from itself.

Afterword is a long poem in fragments, with some long lines of poetry folded over, as it were, onto the next line(s) of the page, as in Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg and Allen Ginsberg. It is a long poem in fragments, but it might also be seen as a poem sequence: of memories and meditations, dreams and (for want of a better word) visions. It's increasingly invaded by images of destruction and desolation: of nature, of animals, of humankind; with those images prefigured by the opening passages. At the end of the text, the negative emphasis is "turned" upon and against itself into the language of transition. It's a poem that's concerned with limits and the possible surpassing or exceeding of limits. "David Miller's writing - poetry, prose, recitatif on the cusp of prose and verse - is peculiar to himself. Its tone is singular: spiritual insight and wisdom grounded in conversational even throwaway sentences. At the same time, the writing belongs in a poetics associated with André du Bouchet, Paul Celan, Japanese masters and other writers - who occupy a space where traditional genres cannot reach - and is in implicit connection with them." -Anthony Rudolf"David Miller writes: 'any writing that engages with the spiritual has to be dialogic provisional & open-ended in nature otherwise we're not talking about an engagement with the spiritual' - and Miller's new text does engage with the spiritual. Both learned and lyrical, it creates lyric utterance through a comprehension of the learning. David Miller both guides and follows - in the wisest European tradition. This is an overwhelming accomplishment." -Tom Lowenstein

After surviving a near-fatal scalding aged three, David Miller's life incentives emerged through involvement and achievement in a range of sports, nearing amateur international level in football and athletics. But then, needing employment, he retired at 22 to enter sports journalism. Having written on 30 sports from 120 countries for four national newspapers, Miller is perfectly placed to analyse and explain what drives those who excel in sport. This anthology of 50 epic performers provides a mirror of the emotions and commitment that drive the imagination of the many and the ambitions of the elite. From the unself-conscious self-discipline of Jesse Owens, Stanley Matthews, Jahangir Khan, Torvill and Dean and Steve Redgrave, to the fundamental loneliness and insecurity that galvanises spontaneous exhibitionists such as Jack Johnson, George Best and Alex Higgins, Miller uncovers what makes these great athletes and sports stars tick.
